edit What needs to be done?

These are collaborative, community-organized events. We need many people involved to make this event happen, such as to offer talks, to help recruit good speakers, to man staff the registration table and especially to help promote the event.

edit How you can help

Contact John (drinkskepticallycos (at) gmail.com) if you would like to help. You can volunteer for tasks and suggest ideas for speakers to recruit.

At the very least please promote your participation on your social media networks (Twitter, Facebook, etc.)
